This event is part of series:
Experiencing positive emotions is important, not just in the good times, but even more so, when stress is high. In a pandemic and a time of great uncertainty, our usual routines are important, but not enough. When the typical restorative strategies aren’t available or are no longer effective, you have to be more intentional to maintain your emotional well-being. In fact, research indicates that positive emotions not only off-set stress, but also facilitate flexible, inclusive, creative, integrative and forward thinking.
Learn how your approach to adversity influences your resilience and practice strategies that get your mind and body in a place to create positive life experiences. Participants will take away a variety of evidence-based strategies for gratitude, goal setting and resilience that influence their experience of positive emotions.
